Problem:

Are the values on the floating dialog based on Local or Global coordinates in AutoPIPE?

Solution:

 The floating results dialog is a small window that appears allowing the user to review results with a more interactive approach.  

This floating dialog does not indicate exactly what coordinates system the results values are based on. The results values will be inline with the concepts of other similar output reports and grids.

Example:

When Force and Moment coordinate system (Global/Local) setting is set to L, than floating results are based on local coordiantes. likewise, if the setting was set to "G" the floating results are based on Global coordinates. 

A new enhancement has been logged (TFS-E636711) to add difinative lable of coordinate system in use for the results displayed on this dialog.
